Tue, 08 May 2012 21:49:04 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=145535#comment-297378Not much. They’ve got a limit of four foreign players per team, or 48 total. I count 37 players in NPB who have been on MLB 40 man rosters since 2007. This obviously misses few players who have been playing Japan since before then or players from Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Venezuela, or the D.R. who went directly to Japan. There just aren’t many more roster spots available.

Tue, 08 May 2012 19:17:41 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=145535#comment-297241I wonder if we’re going to see an increase in American players playing in the Japanese leagues. After seeing Penny and Willy Mo Pena get multi-million dollar deals, which is far from what they would have gotten from any major league team, I’m thinking we just might see more of this kind of thing.

Tue, 08 May 2012 17:18:16 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=145535#comment-297084I believe Major League Baseball is in contract discussions with the Pacific League to ensure that Brad Penny does NOT return to the States. Money isn’t quite in the Yu Darvish range, but it’s close.
